“Everest” is like the mountain that looms over this intense drama — impersonal and foreboding. The 3-D movie, based on true events, retells the 1996 tragedy in which eight climbers lost their lives during an excursion to conquer the mighty peak. The feature, directed by Baltasar Kormákur, is an impressive and solid drama. But it lacks the emotional resonance necessary to fully engross you in the life-threatening situation in which the climbers find themselves.
